Lemon lovers rejoice! Use this quick and easy lemon cream as a sauce for fruit, ice cream, pancakes, or pound cake. Mix with plain yogurt, or thicken it to use for pies and tarts. It takes only 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make. Suitable for Atkins, Keto, LCHF, low carb, diabetic, low glycemic, gluten free, grain free, sugar free, nut free, coconut free, Low Potassium, Low Sodium, CKD/Renal Diet.
Ingredients
- 7-½ ounces, fluid Nestlē Media Crema (See Notes)
- 2 Lemons, Zest And Juice
- ¼ cups Swerve Confectioners (Powdered Erythritol), Or Other Powdered Or Liquid Sweetener To Taste (See Notes)
Preparation
Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Pour into container with air tight lid, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Cream sauce will thicken, but still be pourable. May be stored in refrigerator for up to a week. Stir or shake before using after it’s been stored overnight.
Drizzle over low carb pancakes, pound cake, ice cream, or berries. Or add to hot tea for a delicious treat.
I don’t recommend freezing this sauce.
Yields approximately 1 cup of lemon cream, or 8 servings of 2 tablespoons each.
Notes:
• The sweetener may need to be increased based on the size and juiciness of your lemons. Taste after whisking, and add a little more if needed. Any powdered or liquid sweetener may be used. I don’t recommend granular sweeteners for this recipe.
• Nestlē Media Crema is a full fat unsweetened condensed milk available in supermarkets that serve the Hispanic population, usually on the shelves with regular condensed milk in the baking section, but sometimes in the Mexican Foods section. It may also be ordered on Amazon and Netrition. Other brands also exist, so check your markets. Do not confuse this product with Mexican “Table Cream” found in the refrigerated section. That is a sour cream substitute. I do not have a recommended substitute for the Nestlē Media Crema other than a homemade sugar free condensed milk. Recipes for that are online.
